Who's going to be the one to step up? Please don't ban me for posting this—I'm being serious. This isn't some joke; the news actually hit the papers...

I really hope this turns out to be false.🤣

If Bone hadn't been banned—which, by the way, I’m dying to know why—he would've been the one starting this thread first thing this morning. ☕

In the massive pile of garbage that Discovery calls documentaries, this won't even crack the top ten list of all-time stupidity.

Tyson will walk away with a decent paycheck and some extra publicity, and I suppose everyone will be happy enough.

Yep, I have no idea why. I see he’s back, but honestly, he’s more protected here than a grizzly in Yellowstone; he must be hanging out in some other thread. ☕

I guess Mike Tyson was never really known for his intellect. Back when he was just a kid, he actually thought he could take on a gorilla in a cage. Honestly, a male gorilla would probably kill any man out there.

I get the feeling Tyson’s rope business hit a rough patch, so now he’s trying to scrape together a few million with these circus acts. He played the fool way too much back in his younger days, and honestly, doing this stuff now doesn't do him any favors.

Boxers generally lack foresight, especially that old guard like Tyson who cashed out early. For them, the brain is just an ornament.

Today, the landscape has shifted. Fighters like Fury and Joshua are on a different level compared to Mike; they possess actual academic depth.

If that security guard had actually let Mike into a cage with some gorillas, there wouldn't be much left of him.

Is this gonna end up being just like what that absolute genius was doing in this clip:

😁Man, those gorillas really thought they were something special... no wonder Mike wanted to lay one out. Maybe he was drunk, or maybe back then he actually believed he could take down a gorilla—the media and the whole hype machine turned him into some kind of superhero.🙏
He was probably just trying to act tough in front of a girl—back when he was hitting on Robin Givens... though it would’ve been wild to see if a gorilla could even stay on its feet against prime Tyson's peek-a-boo style.😁....hmm, a Shark wouldn't want any part of that, since they have sensitive noses and once you clip them, they usually check out (or so I heard)—anyway, how much power does it actually take to KO a gorilla? No clue... and Mike was right on the edge of solving that mystery...🤷 😬

Who would actually find that interesting? Maybe you. If the security guard had just let him into the cage, the only question worth asking would be how many pieces they'd have to pull Mike out in—assuming there were even any pieces left at all.

It’s not even close. Let’s be real: no human on this planet stands a chance against a full-grown male gorilla. Plus, you have to factor in the pack mentality—all those other gorillas would jump in to defend their leader in a heartbeat. Poor Mike wouldn't stand a chance.

A gorilla doesn't have feelings. To a guy like Mike, a gorilla's head is basically a pillow. Just think about it...

You seriously think you can clock a gorilla in the head and it won't feel a thing??? Give me a break... Gorillas are living creatures just like everything else; they feel pain and they can definitely get knocked out by a hit to the head. And if you actually believe a gorilla has no feelings—go ahead and ask a zookeeper at the local Zoo to let you hang out with a silverback for $33, then try to "poke him in the ass with a stick." You'll find out real quick if he has feelings or not... just don't come crying to me when he gets "really" pissed off....☕hahahaha😁--- Plus, they’ve got plenty of feelings—like when they step on a thorn, limp around, and wail like a little kid. When you help them pull it out, they'll cry tears of gratitude and remember you for the rest of their lives.☕

It’s not just a toss-up because let’s be real—no human on this planet stands a chance against a grown male gorilla. Plus, you’ve gotta factor in the fact that every other gorilla would jump in to defend their leader. Mike wouldn't last five seconds.

You're not wrong. Even if that male was giving everyone else a hard time—everyone would probably just jump Mike all at once, and the guy would be in deep trouble.🙏

It’s not even a question. I mean, let’s be real—no human being on this planet stands a chance against a full-grown male gorilla. Period. And honestly? Even if you could somehow pull it off, you’d still have to deal with every other gorilla in the jungle jumping in to protect their leader. There wouldn't be much left of Mike.

You’re spot on. Even if that male was bullying everyone else, the whole pack would probably jump him at once, and he'd be in serious trouble. Unless, of course, some observant guy in the group spots him and gives a heads-up—like, "Hey guys, watch out, a drunk Mike Tyson just crashed the party." Because seriously, when that guy's had a few, he loses it. Not only does he hit like a truck, but he'll probably eat our ears for breakfast. I mean, what's even left of us after that???🙏

He might go unconscious, but after a heavy barrage of hits—and since a gorilla doesn't bother with distance, just lunging instantly and aggressively without hesitation—it’ll take him down, snap his neck in seconds, and then he'd probably be roaming the cage with the head in his teeth until the guards tranquilize him. Then again, gorillas at the local Zoo are usually so domesticated that their wild instincts have been completely suppressed; he'd likely just end up playing with Mike. But if you put him in a cage with a silverback that hasn't lived around people? I'd bet my life the fight would be over in thirty seconds.

Douglas Gray8 said:Sure, he might pass out eventually, but after a massive flurry of punches? A gorilla doesn't care about "fighting distance." They just charge instantly and go absolutely savage without a second thought. It’d jump on Mike, slam him into the dirt, snap his neck in seconds, and then be running around the cage with his head held high while the guards try to tranquilize it. Then again, gorillas at the local Zoo are usually so tame they've lost their edge, so it might just play with Mike instead. But throw him in a cage with a wild gorilla that hasn't lived around humans? I'd bet my life that fight is over in thirty seconds.

It’s just one animal taking down another. Honestly, maybe he feels a connection to them since people used to call him King Kong anyway. He’d probably feel right at home among his own kind—especially if he takes out that aggressive alpha and becomes the new leader of the pack. Physically speaking, he fits right in with that crowd. He's basically a gorilla himself.🤣😁😛

I’d give Tyson Fury a fighting chance against a gorilla—maybe 40:60 odds in favor of the ape. But Mike Tyson? Not a chance. Not at his size, and definitely not with him being well past his prime.

Tyson Fury again... seriously? I can't even. How on earth is Fury supposed to KO a gorilla???
With spider legs??? Please. Mike hits twice as hard, guaranteed. And height wouldn't even give him an edge against a beast like that... If Mike was looking to jump into a cage, he would've done it during his prime—back around '88. He's definitely not crazy enough to think about fighting primates these days. But if you're asking if he could knock out Tyson Fury? Yeah, I know he could.😁
